Total Pulp Experience. These exciting pulp adventures have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook and features every story, every editorial, and every column of the original pulp magazine.
True Crime was as compelling in the 1940s as it is today. And that insatiable desire was met by True Gangster Stories, from Columbia Publications (the same publisher who brought you Gangland Detective Stories, Double-Action Gang Magazine, Double-Action Western Magazine, Detective Yarns, Black Hood Detective, Future Fantasy and Science Fiction, Western Yarns, Sky Raiders and quite a few others). Most of the stories in each issue were fiction, but there were always a small handful of true crime tales... embellished, but nonetheless based on true events. The magazine began with the February 1941 issue and lasted six issues until August 1942. They were six issues slam-packed with action and thrills. True Gangster Stories now returns in these vintage pulp tales, reissued for today’s readers in electronic format.
